Thankful to know God, to grow in knowledge and understanding thru the Holy Scriptures.
That while reading and fellowshipping with God and his communicating with me in the Word that:
The Holy Spirit will bring rememberance to me for what I have learned in the past from this portion of Scripture,
Verses I have memorized will be seen & stored in my heart again,
That the Holy Spirit will give me spiritual eyes to see things I havent seen before, and to connect what I know from other areas of Scripture from OT and NT that relate to what I am reading today, and the passage context of surrounding verses as well as overall theme of the book.
That God communicate to me the truths He wants me to know, things he wants to be a blessing to me, and things he wants me to align my thoughts and heart to, things he wants me to be obedient to, things he wants me to meditate on today, and sins he reveals to me that I need to conquer and be victorious over in thought, word, deed, behavior, attitudes and all areas in interactions with others, towards God and also my own inner personal life.

Getting answers:
Search here for the help resources and look up the Bible book to see if any above questions you had are answered there. If not look here and then here (click the verse to pull up resources of: faq, and sermons, pick a sermon and use find feature either in app or on the site; search for that sermon title then in the transcript area use the browser FIND feature to locate a word or phrase, or verse number "four" or "15" and jump thru the text to find what looks like what you are looking for.)
+ Then write your answer below the question in your journal. You may find if you use a hand written notebook, you will need to leave certian spaces for answers. You can type answers in a note app and enter write the journal details at the end of the session. If you plan the digital journalling, you can write the questions in a notes app while reading, then transfer the Questions & Answers into the digital journal document there and save it. This is beneficial since physical notebooks lack space.
When you reread this portion of Scripture next time, you will find you have new questions, or new things you learned, that you can add to the digital journal.
If you add notes to your Biblegateway com acct [in the Bible version, in the notes section] or if you save your journal on the desktop for family access [when your spouse or teen goes thru the same section in his/her "Bible time"] they will save time since you already had questions and answers in there, plus they are learning from you. Keep prayer journal in a seperate digital document, but leave certian prayer pieces in there your kids or spouse can read if they use your journal as a helper in their time in the Word.
